4l80e Compushift Vs. Pcs Controler
 

I would like to know what people feel the pros and cons are for Compushift vs. PCS controllers used on a 4l80e or 4l60e transmission. I have worked a little with the Compushift controller but none with the PCS. Just wondering. for a future project. Thanks for any input.

pcs, you can control when you have to go to the bathroom with that computer.

They both accomplish essentially the same goal which is to fire PWM and shift solenoids. Beyond that, the two designs are polar opposites:

The Compushift controller does not use a laptop and can be purchased with a fairly close pre-loaded map. An onboard display allows for any minor tuning that is required. It's the no-brainer choice.
The PCS controller is fully configurable. Setup CAN be a no-brainer if you order it right. We can help with that. But if you want ultimate control over setup and tuning, channels can be defined for ancillary wires by way of a laptop and Windows based pull down menus. For example, if you have a twin turbo engine, you can set one engine load channel as TPS and another channel as Boost. In this way, the calibration can be varied depending on whether the controller sees boost or vacuum. Mild calibration during zero boost and a more aggressive calibration during boost. That's just one example--and an extreme example at that. As such, you should wear your thinking cap to install and tune the PCS unit.

Both products are excellent. Both offer manumatic capability.

Thanks for all of the help. I love hearing from people in the industry who have used the product.
